Answer to the Paul Harvey Riddle

What is greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
The poor have it,
The rich need it,
And if you eat it, you'll die?

Received in email. There is actually more to the email I received, but thought this was the more interesting part for this post. The email goes on to state that if you send it to at least ten people, then press the return key, you'll get the answer.

As a general rule, emails that state you'll get a picture, an answer, or whatever by forwarding a message are, well, full of it. You get nothing when you forward the message on. Well, in this case, that is the answer. Nothing.

Nothing is greater than God, nothing is more evil than the devil, the poor have nothing, the rich need nothing, and if you eat nothing, you will die.
